Alisa Anwar is joined by Professor of Politics at Royal Holloway University (James Sloan) and digital campaigner at the Intergenerational Foundation (Liam Hill) to understand why young people are so underrepresented in British politics. With only 3% of 18-30 year olds becoming MPs, do young people even want to be involved? We talked to three young political enthusiasts (Ollie Lewis, Aisha Sembhi, and Tom Clabon) to find out more. So, what IF British politics experienced a ‘youthquake’?
The Intergenerational Foundation is a non-party-political charitable think tank that exists to protect the interests of younger and future generations. We research intergenerational fairness and the social contract between the generations and call for a fairer settlement for the young today and generations that follow. Our charity number is 1142230
